HELP 2009 wyoming draw odds

i'm having alittle trouble understanding the draw odd's on the WY DNR site? the only page i see that has a % on it is the nonres. perferance point page. (i don't have any points) i would like to apply for a 100% draw area near casper. can some one explain what and how i should be looking at this info thanks. hope to see you guy in WY this year jorge v.

If its goats your lookin for this map might help. The blue areas where sold out buy season opener...The pink areas still had doe/fawn tags and the white areas you can figure are 100% draw areas.
Good luck, goats are fun critters to hunt and about as easy/hard as you want to make it.

I'm not sure if this is what you mean or if you wanted something different but I look at the total quota for the type of tag I'm looking for, then check the 1st choice column. If the 1st choice column is less than the quota, it's a 100% chance for 1st choice. You can also calculate 2nd choice and 3rd choice in a similar fashion. If the first choice is greater than the quota, divide the quota by the number of 1st choice applicants, multiply by 100 and that equals %. Add the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd to get 2nd or 3rd choice and do the same to get those %'s. Most of the time I can just look at it and get a general idea of the %. Itís not as good as the previous colored map but it works for me. I have spent hours looking through all the Wyoming data. I think it's a pretty good site for determining a hunt area.

thanks guy's i think i now understand the preferance point list. if the quota is 10 tags and they give 2 tags to the guy's with 3 point then they give 1 each to the 2 and 1 point guy's then the 5 tags to the guy's (or girls) with no points, that's 9 tags out of 10 or 100% draw. hope i make the draw. i really want to go with a buck tag

jorvin, I believe you have been misled....If there was ten total non-resident tags available then 9 of would go into the preference point drawing (10% of available non-resident tags are allocated for the random draw)....The first 9 people with 3 points would draw the tags...the people with 2 or one points would only be eligible if there was less than 9 applicants with 3 points.....The applicants that did not draw would then be thrown in the random draw...Their odds would then be the same as anyone applying for the "one only" tag.....Preference points do not apply in the random drawing....

jorvin,
If you really want to draw a buck tag and you don't have any points, then the map provided by MachV shows the areas that 100% draw in 2009...It is best to apply for one of those areas to give you the best chance of drawing a buck tag....
Good luck,
Randy
